I don't know of any interactions between the sub receiver and KXV3A. The KXV3A provides an Rx Antenna connector, transverter connection, IF tap for a panadaptor (such as the Elecraft P3, Telepost LP-PAN, or an RFSpaces SDR-IQ), and Rx Ant In/Out for a preamp such as the Elecraft PR6, or for another receiver to share the same Rx antenna for A/B comparisions, etc.
You can also use the KAT3 to provide two antenna connectors for diversity (with a sub receiver), with the main Rx on ANT1 and the sub Rx on ANT2 if you've decided not to invest in a KXV3A.

The only thing I could come up with was the possiblty to use seperate transmit and receive antennas under certain conditions. For example, a vertical for transmit (due take off angle) and horizontal dipole for receive (less noisy and provides directivity). I picked this example because my small lot does not allow room for beverage antennas which would be another case for using seperate transmit and receive antennas.
